Boston Pride For The People has announced the theme of the 2025 Pride Parade and Festival, which will take place on Saturday, June 14, 2025.
BP4TP organizers intend for the “Here to Stay” theme to send a clear message that people who identify as LGBTQIA+ can not be erased, pushed into the shadows, or silenced, in the face of increased political attacks.

WATCH HERE“Our theme, ‘Here to Stay,’ is a bold declaration of LGBTQIA+ resilience and pride in the face of growing hostility,” said Adrianna Boulin, president of Boston Pride for the People. “There are those who wish we would disappear—go back in the closet, quiet our voices, and surrender the rights we’ve fought so hard to claim. But we won’t be bullied, backed into silence, or erased. We’ve never bowed to hate, and we’re not about to start now. We’re here to stay."
For the third year, Boston Pride for the People will host the 2025 Parade from Copley Square to Boston Common where all are invited to take part in a day-long festival. A 21-plus block party will also be held on City Hall Plaza. Boston’s Pride celebration is the largest in New England. It is estimated that more than 1 million people attended the parade in 2023 and 2024.
